Although it is far from winter outside the windows, and in general, the May holidays are coming soon, yet the cold and frosts have receded too sharply. It seems like it was cold quite recently, and there was snow everywhere, and today the weather pleases us with its warmth and sunny days. But, nevertheless, we will talk about what road surfaces are usually sprinkled with in winter ice. So, we consider mixtures of the "anti-ice" type.
What are they used for and how?
As a rule, such mixtures are used when it is very slippery to drive on the roads. And mixtures are used by organizations that are responsible for the maintenance of public roads in the winter season, as well as companies that clean roads and paved areas in winter – these are high-rise buildings, yard paths, sidewalks.
Such mixtures are needed to remove ice from the surfaces of roads and paths – even at outdoor temperatures up to -50 C.
The methods of using mixtures are as follows:
We clean the hard surface, removing a layer of loose snow if possible, evenly scatter the mixture with a shovel or shovel, after half an hour to clean off the rest of the ice and snow. The same is done when it is necessary to clear the territory of the paved land plot of your house, for example, when large volumes of garbage are needed from the territory, and you cannot drive up to the house by truck on ice.
It is clear that it is necessary to store such mixtures in a dry place protected from moisture.
What are they made of?
The main component in such mixtures is calcium chloride (GOST-certified, of course – GOST 450-77), and auxiliary - corrosion inhibitor and hydrophobizer. In appearance, this mixture looks like small granules of a grayish color.
How do they work?
If the temperature suddenly drops sharply, but snow has not fallen yet, then you can sprinkle a mixture of paths and highways. The mixture will quickly penetrate deep into the ice, reaching the pavement, as a result of which the adhesion forces of the pavement and ice will weaken, and maybe even disappear altogether.
Such mixtures often do not cause corrosion of the metal of cars and utilities, and also have the property of suppressing the appearance and development of harmful microorganisms in the sewage system and storm sewers, can eliminate unpleasant odors.
In addition, using such mixtures for roads, you can save money on snow removal on the streets, improve the quality of adhesion of the pavement if an ice layer or compacted/packed snow, ice film forms on it. And with the help of mixtures of the "anti-ice" type, you can avoid traumatic situations not only on street roads, but even at home, in the courtyard of a private house.
